The Säbener Strasse, usually a hive of bustle and activity, is quiet during the summer break, but that is no reason for boredom: there is the EURO 2016 and a quartet of legends at fcbayern.de. Four Bayern legends answer four questions each. Bixente Lizarazu, who is now 46 years old, starts our series.

fcbayern.de: Welcome Liza! You finished your active career ten years ago. What are you up to these days?Lizarazu: “I work for different media in France. For TV, radio and a print magazine. Football is my subject of course. I talk about the France squad, the Champions League and some domestic leagues in Europe, so I also talk about FC Bayern from time to time.”

fcbayern.de: You still do a lot of sport, surfing, diving, Jiu-Jitsu. Do you still play football?Lizarazu: “Hardly. If I do it's for a good cause. Everything good I have achieved in football is in the past. Now everything I do with the ball is only worse.”

fcbayern.de: How strong are your ties to FC Bayern today?Lizarazu: “Bayern are my club. I feel part of the Bayern family and the club's great history. I'm always happy when Bayern win a title. I sometimes meet old colleagues like Mehmet Scholl or Giovane Elber. I also visited Munich for the championship celebrations in May. If you wore the Bayern shirt once you're a Bavarian forever.”

fcbayern.de: What reminds you of FC Bayern at home?Lizarazu: “I have Lederhosen and Paulaner Weißbier at home. I still like to drink it. And I have more than 500 shirts I've worn in all my matches for Bayern. They're nice memories.”
